I know I have been absent for quite some time now. I'm sorry for that.

I have been a busy mom enjoying the summer with my family. I know you'll understand when I say that sitting in front of a computer ends up being the last thing I have time for, even though I do enjoy sharing with you all.

As I sit here and try to remember all the sensational events that came about this summer, my mind begins to wander. I start thinking about what I want to do before the days get shorter, nights longer, and the winter chill cripples my sense of outdoor adventure.

Carpe Diem. Not always easy to accomplish but in the process of trying, I've definitely become more self aware and appreciative (you can read my posts about it here and here).

So, when I'm tired and it seems like the day will never be done, I try to remember what the poet Horace writes in his famous ode:

Ask not - we cannot know - what ends the gods have set.

How much better to endure whatever comes,

wether Jupiter grants us additional winters

or wether this is our last.

Be wise, and since life is brief,

Seize the day! putting as little trust as possible in tomorrow.

So here's some of what my family and I did this summer... in no particular order:

About Me

I'm a working mom of two imaginative, affectionate, talkative, absolutely wonderful kids who always seem to amaze me.
There's a constant balancing act between work and home that I'm sure I will never master but...I try to live in the moment and remember that life is what you make of it.
